00:00I want the shooting to stop. These innocent children, these innocent children are dying for nothing.
00:06President Trump federalized the D.C. Police Department and deployed the National Guard one week ago.
00:12Now, guardsmen, federal agents and officers are stationed around the district.
00:17But does D.C. feel any safer? We asked locals.
00:20People like me who work a regular 9 to 5, I can't even come outside without being scared I'm going to be pressed out.
00:25Yesterday on my way home, look at this shit, I got grabbed through against my wall for no f***ing reason.
00:29This is handcuffs. By who? A random f***ing police officer that said he can grab me because he has probable cause.
00:35It just kind of feels really weird. If we saw these kind of news headlines in another country, we would be panicking, right?
00:41If China was doing stuff like this, where the Capitol is being taken over by federal officers, can you imagine the headlines we'd see?
00:47Instead, it's justified over a crime rate that doesn't exist.
00:51They have to do what they have to do. I think that the crime has settled down some.
00:55I think the wrong part is we already have resources like that in place.
00:59We already have metro cops who wait in certain areas.
01:03It's weird that we're having federal agents being brought in here, have this kind of presence, all for those kind of minor things.
01:08I think if you want to have a conversation about more police in D.C., I'm really up for that, right?
01:13I think we do kind of lack a little bit of policing here.
01:16But to bring in HSI agents, FBI, to do these random kind of tasks, it's strange.
01:22It's a waste of taxpayer dollars. It's overreached by federal government. It's really strange.
